Hi,

I tried to install R in my Linux using the source code from the mirror
site. The latest is R-2.8.0.tar.gz. I unpacked and compiled the source
code. However, when I tried to install BioC packages, it complained. So
I checked the version of the R it was out of date -- 2004's edition.
Tried two mirror sites, both had same issues.  

> R.version
         _                    
platform i686-redhat-linux-gnu
arch     i686                 
os       linux-gnu            
system   i686, linux-gnu      
status                        
major    2                    
minor    0.1                  
year     2004                 
month    11                   
day      15                   
language R                    

Wonder if anyone here has same problems before? Where do you guys obtain
R source code?

Thanks
Johnny Li
